"Waiting on" Wednesday: The Singles Game

The new novel from the
New York Times bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada and Revenge
Wears Prada—a dishy tell-all about a beautiful tennis prodigy who, after
changing coaches, suddenly makes headlines on and off the court.

Charlotte
“Charlie” Silver has always been a good girl. She excelled at tennis
early, coached by her father, a former player himself, and soon became
one of the top juniors in the world. When she leaves UCLA—and breaks her
boyfriend’s heart—to turn pro, Charlie joins the world’s best athletes
who travel eleven months a year, competing without mercy for Grand Slam
titles and Page Six headlines.

After Charlie suffers a disastrous
loss and injury on Wimbledon’s Centre Court, she fires her longtime
coach and hires Todd Feltner, a legend of the men’s tour, who is famous
for grooming champions. Charlie is his first-ever female player, and he
will not let her forget it. He is determined to change her good-girl
image—both on the court and off—and transform her into a ruthless
competitor who will not only win matches and climb the rankings, but
also score magazine covers and seven-figure endorsement deals. Her
not-so-secret affair with the hottest male player in the world, sexy
Spaniard Marco Vallejo, has people whispering, and
it seems like only a matter of time before the tabloids and gossip blogs
close in on all the juicy details. Charlie’s ascension to the social
throne parallels her rising rank on the women’s tour—but at a major
price.

Lauren Weisberger’s novel brings us exclusive
behind-the-scenes details from all the Grand Slam tournaments: the US
Open, the French Open, the Australian Open, and Wimbledon. Charlie
Silver jets around the globe, plays charity matches aboard Mediterranean
megayachts, models in photo shoots on Caribbean beaches, walks the red
carpet at legendary player parties, and sidesteps looming scandals—all
while trying to keep her eyes on the real prize. In this sexy,
unputdownable read about young tennis stars who train relentlessly to
compete at the highest levels while living in a world obsessed with good
looks and Instagram followers, Charlie must discover the secret to
having it all—or finally shatter the illusion for good. - from Goodreads
